6. About The Consortium - Background • Created by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in March 2010 using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding • Support continuing under GATEWAY Demonstrations, one of the DOE Market-Based Programs for Solid-State Lighting (SSL) • Intended to be an educational resource on Solid-State street lighting and associated technology for those involved in lighting streets and other outdoor public areas. • …and to help accelerate adoption of SSL technology in the nation’s street lighting system

7. Purpose Tools: Model Performance Specification • Developed in response to demand from Consortium members and others • To compile experience gained by members • To establish a common language and framework • To serve as a checklist to minimize errors and omissions • To serve as a living document, undergoing continual revision • To allow for customization by each adopting entity

8. Scope Tools: Model Performance Specification • Addresses • Streets, roadways, and nearby pedestrian ways • Pole-mounted luminaires • Initial and maintained quality and quantity of illumination • Warranty details • Ancillary components • Doesn’t address • Lamp/ballast retrofit products • Lighting control systems (yet, but work is underway)

9. Structure Tools: Model Performance Specification • Brief instructions • Body of Text • References, Related Documents, Definitions • Quality Assurance, Lighting System Performance, Required Submittals • Warranty • Product Requirements • Appendix A – Criteria by Luminaire Type • Appendix B – Lumen Maintenance • Appendix C – Product Family Testing • Appendix D – Electrical Immunity • Appendix E – Product Submittal Form

10. Tools: Financial Analysis Tool Purpose • Created to evaluate costs and benefits of LED conversion • Detailed analysis provides numerous outputs, including: • Annual energy and energy-cost savings • Annual maintenance savings • Annual greenhouse gas reductions • Simple payback, IRR • Net present value

11. Tools: Financial Analysis Tool • Maintenance • Used to derive detailed maintenance costs, if user does not know them • Includes both scheduled and emergency maintenance • Financing • Provides user ability to examine impacts of various financing options • Up to 8 loans of varying amounts, terms, interest rates, and start years may be examined • Generates detailed annual cash flow data

12. Financing LED Retrofits • Municipally-owned utilities: • Los Angeles (70K+ lights)- internal and external loan • Seattle (20K+ lights)- internal loan • Both use savings to repay the loan and reduce rates • New York City – Financing small improvements using existing capital budget and existing baseline funding levels from GF • Boston (18K lights) – Began by purchasing street lights back from utility. Seed money for LED program from ARRA led to support from GF

13. Financing LED Retrofits • Energy Services Company (ESCO) type financing: third party provides investment and retains energy and maintenance savings: • DC DOT began by purchasing street lights back from utility. Now using an AMC; projected replacement of about 35,000 lights over 5 years • Other cities installing specific products that come with “special financing” • Bulk purchase: other municipalities, esp. smaller ones, can benefit from combined purchasing power though there are challenges • Potential role for a Consortium Financing Committee?
